Title: Parking sensors
Post by: C3PO on 05 June 2014, 18:13
Reversed off the drive this morning and halfway off instead of the beeping, I now get a high pitched noise and the button near the gearstick flashes, think I have a fault. Anyone experienced this before?

Sensor has failed

A scan with VCDS or dealer tool should identify which one is playing up  :smiley:

Same thing happened to mine. Stealers couldn't tell me if it was a sensor or control unit fault. Wanted another £200 odd to investigate further. I told them to jog on. Just living without them ATM!

If you have VCDS you could remove the bumper and move the sensors about

If the fault moves then you know its a sensor  :smiley:

Cheers chaps, have contacted a local independent who can diagnose for around 30 quid, then will decide what to do next. Anyone know how much a new sensor is bearing in mind they are colour coded?

My dads mk4 Bora did this, if you place your ear over the sensors you can hear them clicking (i.e. ear touching the sensor with the sensor in you ear hole), obviously ignition on in reverse. I scanned with VCDS and it never shown a fault. Using this method we identified one that didn't click, bought a new sensor somewhere in the region of £90 replaced it and fault went away (they were black luckily).

update - so had indie tech in MK look into the fault this morning, and its not a sensor that has failed :shocked:. It turns out that the fault code is described as "front parking aid warning chime H22". He advised that the part is only £13 which sounds great, however, he has no idea where it is located in the car (could be in the roof or behind the dashboard). any advice welcome :smiley:.

Wife's advice was why bother of course, but I like everything to work as it should.

Finally, whilst in he said the battery was almost flat, which I find strange as I had not noticed any issues, anyone experience anything similar?

Thanks

Thanks

No doubt someone with etka will help you out with its location

Hi there sorry to drag this up having the same problem, put it in reverse and a long chime and light flashing, also press the park assist button to be met with the message " park assist defective workshop"

I've put my ear over each sensor and all seem to be clicking, therefore working ??

Could it be this h22 chime thing or do I need it stuck on the diagnostics ??

You need to plug in and see what error code is present, does sound the same as mine, but it could be a sensor failure. I paid a VW independent to plug in, but if you know someone with the ability to do it for a small charge, then at least you know what you are dealing with. Know I know where it is then you could do yourself knowing that the part is less than £20 :smiley:
